sooooooo here is what im dealing with every time i unfocus warframe or minimize it  it crashes event viewer showed nothing wrong ram is fine power supply is ok  hard drive is good  and i have not updated any drivers as of 2020 even when im logged in and just open a new page over warframe with in mins it crashes with no rime or reason any ideas on what i can do to stop this from happening?

Have you tried running it in windowed (not fullscreen) and see if it still happens?

The only advice i can give otherwise is not to unfocus it. If you need to access a webpage while playing you can Alt Tab on steam.

I have it on windowed fullscreen to stop this. Having it on just fullscreen is what causes this, so you have to change it to something else.

If both Steam overlay and switching focus are causing crashes, then maybe you should update your drivers. Warframe has had some updates over the last year that might be conflicting with old drivers.

Also, which version of DirectX do you have Warframe running in? You can choose which version in the launcher. I would recommend DX11 if it is available on your system. DX12 support just came out, but it's still a bit buggy and unstable.
